1. Since the early 1990s, optical coherence tomography has revolutionized the way retinal and glaucoma surgeons approach diagnostics in their practices, and it continues to show promise for additional applications. When the technology for optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first developed in 1991, surgeons were impressed by the precise imaging created by this modality but questioned if it would become clinically indispensable. Now, many cannot imagine their practices without it. “At first I was (Read Full Article)
